DH has just got home from work (late shift at a pub) to find me sitting on the floor in the boys' bedroom trying to get them both back to sleep after DS1 (3) decided a couple of hours ago that it was playtime, woke up DS2 (1) and they both started bouncing on DS2's bed. I haven't been to sleep yet. DH pats DS2's back a bit, gets him almost asleep, then comes and starts making a fuss of DS1, which doesn't really help to convince him to go back to sleep!
Eventually I get DS1 to a point where I can leave the room so I go into the kitchen to get a drink, where I find DH standing, surveying the dirty dishes that I haven't done, and he says, "Well you haven't actually done anything today, have you?" I could have screamed. No, of course I haven't done anything, just fed and changed and cared for our children, and the little girl from next door too as her Mum is currently going through a miscarriage. Plus I cooked DH's dinner, plated it up and left it in the oven, as I have cooked all but 5 meals that have been cooked in this home in the past five years. Oh, and sat up with the children until 1am.. plus all the other odds and ends of housework and whatever.
I don't want a medal, I chose to be a SAHM, but a bit of recognition might be nice! AIBU to be fuming?!
